SAT填空题常考词汇之变义单词
SAT填空题常考词汇中有一种单词类型是变义单词,所谓变义单词即已知的单词,加了ed或者ing等之后意思发生了词义非常规变化,这在SAT填空题中是常常考到的知识点,我们举例说明一下,如:
Although visitors initially may find touring the city by subway to be ______, they are pleased to discover that subways are an inexpensive and ______ way to get around.
A. wasteful generous B. daunting efficient C. extravagant prohibitive
D. convenient solitary E. enjoyable easy
这道SAT填空题目很简单,但很多同学没有把prohibitive的常考意搞清楚,应该是昂贵的,与前面inexpensive成反义词,这样从逻辑判断或者说叫感情色彩判断会很快排除此选项。
以下是笔者列举的一些变义单词:
1. Compose composedcomposure
2.affect affecteddisaffected
3.personpersonalimpersonal
4.testtesty-testing

6.exhaustexhaustive
